You are talking out your arse Stroppy. If the heavily quarantined brought in stuff like prahok and dried marinated finish are allowed over many years I wouldnt worry too much about it.StroppyChops wrote:I wouldn't take any food products into oz, this will hold you up in customs for a very long time and it will almost certainly be removed from you anyway.Anchor Moy wrote:Not sure what you can take into Oz for coffee etc (customs), but there's a charity shop (blind people maybe ?) at Russian market that sells little gift packs of Khmer curry and other spices. Its on a street on the outside of the market.

If you’re carrying food or other items of biosecurity risk, you must show a biosecurity officer a receipt or other document proving that the product is of Australian origin. If you cannot show proof, your items will be seized. Please note that some states prohibit the entry of fresh fruit from other parts of Australia.
The following is not a complete list of items that you must declare on arrival. In many cases items you declare will be returned to you after inspection. If biosecurity concerns are found during the inspection, a Biosecurity officer may give you the option of treating goods (at your cost), after treatment they will be returned to you.
Some items may be allowed in if accompanied by an Import Permit (issued by the department before your arrival) or with mandatory treatment in Australia (fees and charges apply). Alternatively you can drop them in quarantine bins at the airport.

Instead of copying and paste from the boring Australian immigration rules, why not tell about your experience. Airports around the world have similar things written too. Not to mention no smoking place at Sydney international airport after hours on the flight.
I had put dried fish passing through that Singapore airport, Sydney, Auckland and Christchurch. I was asked and green lights all the way. I think the reason brought stuff is confiscated is because of the excessive amount.

I've pretty much always brought food through Australian customs. So long as you declare it there hasn't been a hassle.

Because my experience of travelling around the world is irrelevant to the question. We are talking about what is legal to import to Australia and so the Australian Government site listing what is legal is highly pertinent. The fact that you successfully smuggled dried fish to Auckland is irrelevant. When you were at Sydney airport did you leave the airport and go through customs. Because if you did you were lucky to get through because if you had have been caught you would have been fined and prosecutedflying chicken wrote:Instead of copying and paste from the boring Australian immigration rules, why not tell about your experience.

On arrival your baggage may be assessed by x-ray, detector dog or inspected by a biosecurity officer. If you fail to declare or dispose of any biosecurity risk items, or make a false declaration:
•you will be caught
•you could be fined $340 on-the-spot, or
•you could be prosecuted, fined more than $66000 and risk 10 years jail and a criminal record.
A couple of years ago I was travelling back and fourth to Australia two or three times a year and on countless occasions. In the customs area sniffer dogs check your bags. I saw travellers on numerous occasions have their bags checked following the dog search then taken aside to be charged.

I meant to say Custom not Immigration in my above post.
I put the dried fish in the luggage in the above mentioned airports. After 9/11 the NZ and Oz airports were strict than a nun's tits...smuggling is the last thing on my mind and not a nice word to use. They were very strict about quarantine. I filled out the required forms. The only complaint I got from the custom officers was they are stink, but OK.

i was there before 9/11.
though, I could agree and eat the chocolate bars before immigration, but didn't mention my 3 kg supplements in the backpack.
sorry - this was too expensive, and I didn't know this stuff when booking.
walked through with my umpteen bottles of supplements.
